1. Take a dip!

July is hot so take a break for the 4th and go swimming! Lake, river, ocean, or even a kitty pool. No pool? How about a sprinkler or hose? Then you can 'share' the water with others. *wink* * wink*

2. Have a water war!

Bring out the big boys with water balloons, guns, or your own secret weapon. Play with your friends or siblings. You could even get your parents in on it too!

3. Bad weather? No problem!

Have indoor games from cards to scavenger hunts. Build a pillow fort. Have a slumber party or pillow fight.

4. Show your patriotism!

Be THE American. Become the flag. Body paint, streamers, sparklers, hats, even socks. Anything and everything will be Red, White, and Blue.

5. Cook out!

Go with the regular burgers and hot dogs or create your own! Always remember to have a sweet treat to finish with!

6. Go on vacation!

Take a trip you never been before. Or where you love to visit. Its a great time to check out events like airshows or festivals that will be going on.

7. Create your own drive-in theater.

It doesn't have to involve parking cars in the backyard. Grab a projector, a bed sheet, laptop, movie, and some popcorn and your set to go! You can even have people bring snacks in drinks to share.

8. Plan a get together with friends.

We all get busy and sometimes we get to busy to see our friends as much as we did. Plan a get together. A sleepover, dinner, movie, or even a hangout.

9. Be with your family.

See your family! Most families do have get together's, but if not, at least stop by and say "hi."

10. Watch fireworks!


Of course, the main attraction is fireworks! You can buy your own or go out and see someone else's.

You should definitely consider these activities for next year's celebration!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
